Gran's Scottish Shortbread Recipe - 4 Ingredients! Glen And Friends Cooking
Gran always said the secret to her shortbread recipe was using rice flour. You end up with an all butter shortbread that will just melt on your tongue, leaving a huge grin on your face. You can bake this shortbread recipe as rolled and cut-out cookies, or in a fancy stoneware shortbread mold... or as we've always done; a shaped round that is cut into wedges after cooking. This is a great egg free cookie recipe. Don't think of this as just a holiday cookie, or a Christmas cookie recipe - these are great all year round. A melt on your tongue rice flour shortbread recipe.
*In the early 1700s - to late 1800's Scotland was the centre of the global rice trade. Rice from Asia and from 'The Colonies' was imported to Scotland for processing and then traded on to the rest of Europe.
In 1775 alone more than 44,000. tons of rice were imported to Scotland from the Southern Colonies. That's just one year; and the numbers grow year over year until the late 1890s when trade shifted.
Some of that rice remained in the local Scottish economy and marketplace.*
Ingredients:
250 mL (1 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature
125 mL (1/2 cup) superfine or fruit sugar
125 mL (1/2 cup) rice flour
375 mL - 425 mL (1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cup) all purpose flour
Method:
In a bowl cream the butter.
Gradually add sugar and beat until fluffy.
Gradually add rice flour and all purpose flour until the mixture is too difficult to mix with a spoon.
Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly, drawing in flour until the dough begins to crack.
Form into a ball, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 150ºC (300ºF).
Cut ball into half.
Place one segment on one side of an un-greased baking sheet.
Pat the dough into a circular shape roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Take a fork and prick a lovely pattern onto the top of the dough.
Do the same for the second segment of dough.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
When the dough is slightly golden remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Cut into wedges and remove from baking sheet to cooling rack.

Lemon Shortbread Cookies
PRINT the recipe:
Simple lemon shortbread is just what feels good in January. It's always coincidental that when the snow blows, citrus is ripe and in season. This bright shortbread is rich with butter but melts in your mouth. Hopefully, it will remind us all of sunny, warm thoughts!

------------------------------
Ingredients:
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp lemon zest, about 2 lemons
- 1/2 tsp lemon extract
- 16 tbsp butter, room temperature
Instructions:
Mix flour, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a food processor until blended, about 20 seconds.
Add lemon zest and lemon extract.
Cut butter into tablespoon-size pieces. Add to processor and pulse until dough resembles a coarse meal. The dough will form a ball if pressed together but seem crumbly in the bowl.
Press dough into an 11-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. A 10-inch cake pan can also be used if desired. Ensuring the dough is pressed evenly will create a firm shortbread.
With a sharp knife, score the shortbread into eight wedges, making sure to not cut all the way through.
Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake in a preheated 300°F oven for 40-50 minutes (50-60 minutes if using a cake pan). When done baking, the shortbread will be firm to the touch around the edges.
Remove from oven and cut shortbread while still warm, using the scored lines as a guide.
Once cool, remove the shortbread from pan and enjoy!

About Scottish Shortbread Cookies
Shortbread or shortie is a traditional Scottish biscuit usually made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three to four parts plain wheat flour. Unlike many other biscuits and baked goods, shortbread does not contain any leavening, such as baking powder or baking soda. Shortbread originated in Scotland.[citation needed] Although it was prepared during much of the 12th century, and probably benefited from cultural exchange with French pastry chefs during the Auld Alliance between France and Scotland, the refinement of shortbread is popularly credited to Mary, Queen of Scots in the 16th century. This type of shortbread was baked, cut into triangular wedges, and flavoured with caraway seeds.
Other ingredients are often substituted for part of the flour to alter the texture. Rice flour or semolina makes it grittier, and cornflour makes it more tender. Bere or oat flour may be added for flavour . Modern recipes also often deviate from the original by splitting the sugar into equal parts granulated and icing sugar and many add a portion of salt. Spices and ingredients such as almonds may be added.
